New Opportunities in the Classroom . . Academic instruction was enhanced this year by the arrival of three experienced department heads for English, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. The creation of French and Spanish Clubs, along with the continued success of the Latin Club, marked an increased interest in foreign languages. Qualified seniors earned Advanced Placement college credit through intensive courses in Literature, Calculus, and American History, while all science courses, from seventh grade through twelfth, placed new emphasis on laboratory methods and individual research.

E E In Memoriam: Mr. Fred Elmore Mr. Fred Elmore came to Webb in the fall of 1956. At that time the Sequoyah Presbyterian Church housed the then one year old school. As Webb grew, Mr. Elmore played an integral role in its development, serving the school in athletics and in the classroom. For eight years he was the school's varsity basketball coach and Athletic Director. Under his leadership an intramural sports program was established so that every student could receive the benefits of athletic participation. Off of the field and the court, Mr. Elmore taught such varied courses as Biology, English, General Science, Geography, and Physical Education. In recent years he had to give up many of his duties around the school due to declining health. However, his contributions as Guidance Counselor during this period were significant. His care and understanding for each student made lasting impressions on all those associated with him. With his passing, Webb School has lost a long time teacher, coach, and friend. His presence will be sorely missed in the years to come, but his influence will be lasting for the faculty, students, and alumni of Webb School. 11
